Message-ID: <335@osiris.UUCP> Date: Fri, 17-May-85 14:57:29 EDT Article-I.D.: osiris.335 Posted: Fri May 17 14:57:29 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 19-May-85 07:38:13 EDT Distribution: net Organization: Johns Hopkins Hospital Lines: 9 Has anyone taken a look at net.sf-lovers? There is a vast number of postings, and a good number of them are ridiculous. One poster says that he reads science fiction because most of the the great writers active today are in the field. I read sf, but rarely find anything more than bare entertainment. Any comments on different genres? There are authors who break out of the mold occasionally--I like Simenon, and a very few sf writers. Other suggestions, anyone? Rob St. Amant
